Review(s):
“A resonant tale with wide appeal.” —Publishers Weekly on The Toy Boat by Randall de Seve
"Even small children know the magic of a special toy, however drawn they are to the new, and who doesn’t like a fire truck story? VERDICT A warm addition to transportation shelves." —School Library Journal
"Staake and de Sève are a perfect match in this inter-generational tale that puts value on experience, memories, and time spent together. An absolute delight." —Kirkus, starred review
"De Sève (Peanut and Fifi Have a Ball) and Staake (My Pet Book) are an inspired pairing, and the brisk storytelling and funny segues give the graphic, posterlike images a deep warmth and narrative energy." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
